Which jerseys are the Patriots wearing today in Week 1 vs. Bengals?

The time is finally here to watch the New England Patriots kickoff their 2024 season against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Every NFL offseason feels like it gets longer. Although the Patriots are not projected to have an impressive season, there is still plenty of excitement in the air regarding the new era in Foxboro.

Besides the new coaching staff that will make up the sideline under Jerod Mayo, there are plenty of new players that will hopefully be upgrades over last year's roster, starting with the quarterback position.

Jacoby Brissett might not be who many fans were hoping to see under center this season, but it's difficult to argue he won't be better than the version of Mac Jones we saw in 2023. Plus, rookie Drake Maye is waiting in the wings, with most assuming he will play at some point this season, whether due to Brissett needing to be replaced or not.

Then there's the hype around rookie wide receivers Javon Baker and Ja'Lynn Polk, who should become significant contributors in the passing game along with DeMario Douglas.

The pass rush will also see a significant change in the absence of Christian Barmore, who is dealing with a health issue keeping him off the field, and Matthew Judon, who was traded to the Falcons last month.

There will be plenty to look for in this game, with some factors appearing to benefit the Patriots based on the latest news out of Cincinnati. And what will these teams be wearing on Sunday afternoon? Here are the latest details regarding both teams' attire.

Which jerseys are the Patriots wearing today in Week 1 vs. Bengals?

The Patriots will be wearing their standard white away jerseys in their season opener against the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. The home team will be donning their orange-on-orange ensemble to contrast.

Although this isn't the most exciting uniform for the Patriots first game, they did recently announce the two games when they will be wearing their beloved red throwbacks later this season. It leaves the door open for another game to be added, as teams are allowed to wear alternate helmets up to three times a season.

It also begs the question of whether we will see a return of the silver pants in the Patriots' standard uniform any time soon. It was hinted as a possibility this offseason, likely due to Jerod Mayo's fondness of the combination since it was the uniform he wore during his career. But it's also become a fan favorite since the team changed their uniforms after Tom Brady's departure in 2020.

Gossip earlier this year suggested the organization is considering the return of the silver pants to become part of the standard uniform, but it wouldn't be implemented until next year at the earliest.
